Could Meditation Help Prevent Swine Flu?

Oct. 23, 2009 - PRLog -- Amongst all the recent concern generated by the WHO ( World Health Organization) recent statement that “the H1N1 influenza virus pandemic is still some cause for concern due to its unpredictable nature”, we can take some comfort in the promising results of some research into a more empowering approach at disease prevention.

In a 2003 study at the University of Wisconsin and Harvard University performed an eight week study where employees were given training in mindfulness meditation and encouraged to meditate for 1 hour per day. At the end of the eight weeks, both a control group and the meditating group were given a flu vaccination.

During tests conducted four months after the vaccinations the meditating group was shown to have reproduced significantly more flu virus antibodies than the control group which did not meditate. Although when the study which was published in the online Journal of Psychosomatic Medicine was scrutinized by British expert who stated that the results were interesting, but needed they further study.

Another study based on qigong meditative states, found that the level of T cells in HIV-infected individuals significantly increased with consistent practice of qigong. The same study also found that significantly lowered depression and anxiety, which are both known immune-system depressors, were also a result.

Joseph Takuski who works as a meditation instructor and coach teaching locals to access the "source" of their own health, wealth and wisdom through the power of meditation says that “The stress caused from worrying about getting sick certainly doesn’t help with the prevention of illness.”

“If anything it makes one more susceptible to it. Meditation helps one focus their attention back toward health, creating a more positive chemistry within the body. Positive emotions like happiness and love have long been known to create positive healing results in the body.”

Meditating on health, happiness, and the healing power of love are just a few of the aspects of Takuski’s Meditation Made Easy Training  workshop held this November 14th, 21st, and 28th in Malta Europe.

“You can worry all you want about what could happen to you in the future, but the real power to create your world lies in the present moment. Focus your energies on the present and illness will be as rare for you as it has been for me.”

“I teach my students a sort of “living” meditation, where they can access the power of their health wealth and wisdom anywhere anytime. I want them to know just how powerful they are and how easy it is to access that power when they know how”.

Takuski is cofounder of One Spirit Inc., a personal success training company that provides training workshops, and learning products and programs. His powerful presence and sincere and insightful teaching style has made him adored and loved by his students and clients alike.
